We are getting very near the end. Christmas is next week! Can you feel the magic?
If you have been waiting for those beloved songs from the old days, there are several in today’s medley and the rest will play next week.
By the way, I have been playing a lot of music from Trans-Siberian Orchestra (and I will be again next week), but long before they became internationally famous, there was another instrumental group that dominated the airwaves. Mannheim Steamroller may sound less powerful than Trans-Siberian, but I thought they deserved a place in this marathon.

What a great choice of songs bringing such warm and comforting memories and feelings. It helps cover up today’s problems and reminds me of all of the wonderful Christmases I was fortunate enough to experience.
They were perfect for us as Killian got ready for his last day of school before the Christmas break. Perfect for putting on his Christmas pj’s for his school’s pj’s day!
Thank you, Ray. 🎄❤️🎄
To my New York posse, thank you for the lovely blog comments! ❤️
I hope Mr. K has a wonderful day, and I hope you have a splendiferous weekend!
What better way to start this medley then with none other, the great Bing Crosby! I could listen to him sing all day. This was so very inspirational and gave us the real message about Christmas. God bless all the artists who sang the songs that expressed our feelings, and the wonder that we share in the birth of Christ.! NatKing Cole and Ray Charles were born with silken voices. The very melodic voice of Vince Gill, and then again with Don Williams! So beautifully sung! Casting Crowns was great. I’m not gonna tell you that I filled up again. Manheim Steamroller, actually have two of their CDs. I’ve always loved that group. Closing out with Johnny Mathis, and that beautiful voice, so I could listen to over and over, so powerful! This was outstanding, as are all of your medleys. Ray, you are the best! This was awesome! 🎄🎁❄️❤️
Oh Sandy, I could read your joyful writing all day! ❤️
You have captured so deeply the spirit of Christmas and it is evident in every word you write.
Although it’s been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you ❤️
